You confirmed me what I suspected for a lot of time. Cipramil is still present in my brain, tightly bound to the tissues and slowly released in the blood stream ( mostly in the brain). It's like a chemical prosthesis and you can't get rid of it. Now I'm sure that I'm fighting against something real. I will follow your suggestions for sure And the circle closes: I can't stop from taking Zyprexa because it was present from the very beginnig while I was taking Cipramil. And I can't break the equilibrium because Zyprexa still neutralizes Cipramil. Your info are incredibly valuable for me, thank you again and thanks to all who have replied.
